That's a very weird framework and dichotomy you have there. Try untangling yourself out of it by considering some empirical facts, for example, hospitals acquired by private equity often have worse outcomes. > private equity acquisition was associated with a 25.4% increase in hospital-acquired conditions, which was driven by falls and central line–associated bloodstream infections https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10751598/ > Medicare beneficiaries in the emergency departments of private equity hospitals experienced seven additional deaths per 10,000 visits after acquisition relative to hospitals that were not acquired by private equity, the team found. This rise represented a 13 percent increase from a baseline of 52 deaths per 10,000 visits https://hms.harvard.edu/news/deaths-rose-emergency-rooms-aft... | ||
